This time I'm done with always screwing up
I'm sick of one direction down
I'm a broken picture frame
My whole world's twisted inside out
Streaming voices like a hurricane
It's telling me to wake up
Get out of bed
Put your feet on the floor
There's fresh air out the door

And I've been acting so pathetic
Knocking around like a ball on a string
It's taking time for me to get it
I'm ready and willing to do anything to make it up to you

My arms are hurting so bad from being so empty
My heart weighs like a ton cause it feels so heavy
I'm standing here all alone
Wishing that I could've known
You just can't walk away
From the damage

Last time I'm playing with a broken string
It don't matter no one's listening
Cause losing you has made me see
I've gotta change
Gotta blame it
All on me

And I've been acting so pathetic
Knocking around like a ball on a string
It's taking time for me to get it
I'm ready and willing to do anything to make it up to you (oh)

My arms are hurting so bad from being so empty (so empty)
My heart weighs like a ton cause it feels so heavy (heavy yeah)
I'm standing here all alone
Wishing that I could've known
That you just can't walk away
From the damage (damage)

My eyes may as well be blind if I just can't see you(if I can't see you)
My hands may as well be tied cause they just can't touch you (touch you)

Before the smoke can really clear away
From fires I started yesterday
I know I've gotta find a way
Somehow I've gotta find a way to wake up
From the damage

My arms are hurting so bad from being so empty
My heart weighs like a ton cause it feels so heavy
I'm standing here all alone
Wishing that I could've known
You just can't walk away
From the damage
My eyes may as well be blind if I just can't see you
My hands may as well be tied cause they just can't touch you
I'm standing here all alone
Wishing that I could've known
You just can't walk away
From the Damage

I'm standing here all alone
Wishing that I could've known
You just can't walk away
From the damage

Ohh, ohh
Ohhh

Girl, I remember how it all began
You introduced her as your friend
But I knew I was in trouble when
I saw her smile at me
And then she asked me for a dance
But never offered you a glance
Well let me tell you girl with friends like that
Who needs enemies


Should've known better than to trust a friend
Who's jealous of the way we livin'
I don't think you know what's happening
Your girl is shading you
Should've known better than to trust a friend
Behind your back she gives me rhythm
But I'm 'bout to make her understand
I only dance with you

Girl, you say your friend is just flirting by
It's getting so ridiculous
That she's thinking she can mess with us
But I don't play around
Even when she's saying that you're unaware
And it's cool with you to share
No I still ai't gonna dance with her
I'm telling you right now


Should've known better than to trust a friend
Who's jealous of the way we livin'
I don't think you know what's happening
Your girl is shading you
Should've known better than to trust a friend
Behind your back she gives me rhythm
But I'm 'bout to make her understand
I only dance with you

Don't try to say I lost the mind
I know your girl has crossed the line (cause I really know that)
She got issues, she trying to diss you
The minute that you turn around
She pulled a switch boo
Cause she's wishing what's yours was hers
So now leave the girl, that ain't never gonna work


Should've known better than to trust a friend
Who's jealous of the way we livin'
I don't think you know what's happening
Your girl is shading you
Should've known better than to trust a friend
Behind your back she gives me rhythm
But I'm 'bout to make her understand
I only dance with you

Should've known girl not to trust a friend
Should've known jealous of how we livin'
Should've known I was shading you
Only dance with you


Should've known better than to trust a friend
Who's jealous of the way we livin'
I don't think you know what's happening
Your girl is shading you
Should've known better than to trust a friend
Behind your back she gives me rhythm
But I'm 'bout to make her understand
I only dance with you

Ohh oh ohhh
I only dance with you....
Ohh oh ohhh
I only dance with you....

Mmmmm, Mmmmm
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Mmmmm, Yeah

It was like there she was (she's so)
This sweet lady (lady)
Man, she was lookin' so tight
That it drove me crazy (insane)
And I'll never go over trying
Tryin' to make this lady (ooohh)

Oh how I wish that I wasn't so shy
It wasn't that I, I never had experience in
In chasing ladies (oh no)
Oh did I miss my chance
Hell I must be crazy
If I ever get the chance (the chance)
The chance to see her again
That's when I'll tell her that I need her so


She was my favorite girl
She was sweet as candy (sweet as candy)
And I gotta tell her that I wanna make her my baby (my baby)
And if we get the chance (the chance)
The chance to meet, yeah
That's when I'll tell her
That I need her so

Now I'm back on the block
In my new Jaguar
Trying to find this lady
Never gonna admit, I won't stop (til I)
Till I find my baby (baby)

Back down the alley way
I'm going crazy (yeh)
If it ever crossed my mind
That I wouldn't find this lady

Reality (oohh)
My mind's playin' tricks on me (yeh)
How could this be (that she)
She could have this effect on me
Right before my very eyes (there she was)
That's where I found her
And then I told her
That I need her so

It's catching up to me right now
Everything that I've said
The night I left her there
When I said I wanted out
I was angry and upset
And at the time I could care less about staying there
I had to prove I didn't care
As much as she thought I did


I showed her
I let my pride take me
Far away from the only woman I loved
I showed her
Now she has found someone new
And her life will go on
And I'm all alone
But I showed her

Oh oh oh

I hate that she's in love
But it took a while for her to get over the hurt
Now I know that I messed up
I was trying to give us time
But I see she took that time to find somebody else
What happened to the things she felt for me
Am I really a part of her past


I showed her
I let my pride take me far away
From the only woman I loved
I showed her
Now she has found someone new
And her life will go on
And I'm all alone
But I showed her

Woah oh oh's



Now she has found someone new
And her life will go on
And I'm all alone
But I showed her

Hey Yeah Hmmmm

Well it's been four lonely days and three lonely nights
Looking for my baby but she's nowhere in sight
See I've traveled far and wide
Seen the finest places
What does it all amount to, when there's no familiar faces


See I've been around the world and I
I can't find my lover
Been around the world and I
I don't know where she can be
Been around the world and I
I can't find my lover
Been around the world and I
And I can't even find myself

Hey Yeah
Oh oh

Well I don't know where I am
And I don't know who I'm with
All I'm hanging on to is that loving that you give
You see I've lost my sense of time
And I got no direction
Sending out a signal
Been trying to get your attention


See I've been around the world and I
I can't find my lover
Been around the world and I
I don't know where she can be
Been around the world and I
I can't find my lover
Been around the world and I
I can't even find myself

Hey you know what I'm talking about
I ain't the only one who's feeling down and out

No, there's no spaces they clutter up my mind
Those wonderful traces
Suddenly there's no place I can find
My lover my lover
My lover my lover

Yeah yeah ohh

See I've been around the world and I
I can't find my - my lover my lover
Been around
I can't even find myself


See I've been around the world and I
I can't find my lover
Been around the world and I
I don't know where she can be
Been around the world and I
I can't find my lover
Been around the world and I
I don't know where she can be

See I've been around the world and I
I can't find my lover
Been around the world and I
I don't know where she can be
Been around the world and I
I can't find my lover
Been around the world and I
I can't even find myself

You know the joint that she shortys keep talkin about
DJ can you play it as a favour for me
You know the joint that makes 'em get down, get down

Take those
New records off the shelf
'Cause I ain't dancin' by myself
And you're the only one who can help
uh huh
Saw this hunnie come through the back door
And I need to get her out on the floor
So get up on to your feet
By breakin you off a drink
'Cause you know what I came here for..


DJ can you play it as a favour for me
You know the joint that she shortys keep talkin about
DJ can you play it as a favour for me
You know the joint that makes 'em get down, get down
DJ can you play it as a favour for me
You know the joint that she shortys keep talkin about
DJ can you play it as a favour for me
You know the joint that makes 'em get down, get down

I love
Rockin, rockin
Hip hop with rock n roll
Mix it with a lil rhythm and soul
And you know that we'll be good to go
Uh huh
I think it's time for the place to get hot
So DJ make the beat drop
You better raise up your glass
And start shakin yo (ahh)
'Cause the party ain't about to stop



I'ma put another dime up in the jukebox
Let the music play all night long
Giving you a taste of southern comfort
Wraped up in a love song
Record man can we do it again?
Press rewind before the joint ends
'Cause I'm about to pull a round up of seats
And I won't be ........... stand the heat
ohhhhh



Burnin up, burnin up
The dance floor's burnin up
Burnin up, burnin up
The joint's like burnin up
Burnin up, burnin up
The dance floor's burnin up
Burnin up, burnin up
The joint's like burnin up

She said it wasn't my fault
She said we gave it our all
And she walked away
I never saw the girls I spoke to, no
But tell me is there something I can do

Leave another message on the telephone
And you're parked outside with your headlights on


Suddenly I'm standing at your door
And the steps don't feel like they did before
The radio's playing loud but it's not our song
Suddenly he's all alone with you
He's looking in your eyes like I wanted to
I knock four times and pretend you're not at home
Suddenly I'm all alone
Suddenly I'm all alone

She said it wasn't the same (she said it wasn't the same)
You said our life's been so plain
Then she walked away
Want to make things brand new
Tell me is there something I can do, whoa

Leave another message on the telephone
And you're parked outside with your headlights on


Suddenly I'm standing at your door
And the steps don't feel like they did before
The radio's playing loud but it's not our song
Suddenly he's all alone with you
He's looking in your eyes like I wanted to
I knock four times and pretend you're not at home
Suddenly I'm all alone

Suddenly I'm all alone...
Suddenly I'm all alone...
The radio's playing...the radio's playing...
Suddenly I'm all alone...
The radio's playing loud but it's not our song
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Suddenly I'm standing at the door
And the steps don't feel like they did before
The radio's playing loud but it's not our song
Suddenly I'm all alone with her
She's everything that I wish you were
You knock four times and pretend I'm not at home

Suddenly I'm standing at the door
And the steps don't feel like they did before
The radio's playing loud but it's not our song (but it's not our song)
Suddenly I'm all alone with her
She's everything that I wish you were
You knock four times and pretend I'm not at home

Suddenly I'm standing at your door
And the steps don't feel like they did before
The radio's playing loud but it's not our song (not our song, oh)
Suddenly I'm all alone with her
She's everything that I wish you were
You knock four times and pretend I'm not at home

Lying here on the couch
With my heart in the mouth
Realize you were right I was wrong and
I'm in pieces and bits but that's nothing you can fix
Cause baby you're still my addiction

Ohhh
Every minute's like a thousand years
Since you were lying here


In the middle of the night
I turn on the light
Too desperate to breathe
Cause I get this craving
There's no time to waste gotta get a taste
Satisfy my need
Baby, won't you save me
Got this craving for you

For you...
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

It's like you live in these walls
I hear your voice down the hall
I swear I see your face it's everywhere it's every place
I start myself past the pain but still it won't go away
The more I try to forget I remember

Ohhh
Every minute's like a thousand years
Since you were lying here


In the middle of the night
I turn on the light
Too desperate to breathe
Cause I get this craving
There's no time to waste gotta get a taste
Satisfy my need
Baby, won't you save me
Got this craving

To lose myself in you and we're standing in the rain
To keeping you awake through the night
I hunger for your touch
Cause I need you back what's wrong with that
No I can't be without you no more

In the middle of the night
I turn on the light
Too desperate to breathe
Cause I get this craving
There's no time to waste
Gotta get a taste satisfy my need
Baby won't you save me

In the middle of the night
I turn on the light
Too desperate to breathe
Cause I get this craving
There's no time to waste
Gotta get a taste satisfy my need
Baby won't you save me
Got this craving for you
Craving for you

You said that it's over, over easy
If I let go the pain will subside
'cause sayin' goodbye's never pretty
And it's uglier livin' a lie
But answer this one thing for me--why...

What did you mean when you said that is over
I don't understand
How could this be
You promised me
You said forever
Or did you forget
Was I deceived
You needed me

Now it's over, overflowing
With dreams that will never come true
You said it's a good thing that we found out
Maybe better for me than for me
You wish that something in you would do

What did you mean when you said that it's over
I don't understand
How could this be
You promised me
You said forever
Or did you forget
Was I deceived
You needed me

Now it's over
Over my head
And I feel like a drowning man
Who's still begging God for rain
What did you mean

Woah woah yeah
What did you mean
When you said it's over
I don't understand
How could this be
You promised me
You said forever
Did you forget
Was I deceived
You needed me

Now it's over
Over easy
If I let go the pain will subside

We're goin' out tonight
New shelltones with blue stripes
My braves cap to the side
Painted blue Levi's
The club hop's off at 10
But we won't be there then
Gotta stop at In-And-Out
and get a #3
But hold the onions please

Pullin up to the valet
Though I hate to be that way
But a playa's gotta play
And V.I.P.
Which girls are coming with me?



(in a red dress) I want a girl like that
(have fun dress) I need a girl like that
(out late night) You need a girl like that
Hey hey hey hey

(doin her own thing) I need a girl like that
(a little tattoo) We need a girl like that
Hey hey hey hey

Now we're up in V.I.P.
Got this honey next to me
And she screams
When the DJ plays
(peaches and cream)
Baby do that dance for me
Get your friends 'round
Two or three
We can rendevous
And do that thing we do
I wanna drink to you

After drinks, it's time to leave
Go to valet, get my keys
Here's a fifty, keep the change
Jump in the Range
Which honey's coming with me?



Yea it's a party, girls all around me
It's a party, we gettin rowdy
It's a party, it - it's a party
Clap your hands *clap clap*
Everybody up in the party
Everybody, time to get rowdy
Everybody up in the party
Clap your hands *clap clap clap clap*
(here we go)

Oh my God, it's 6 am
The party's comin to an end
She asks me when we will again
Is that a sin?
Tomorrow is her best friend

Oooh
Yeah yeah
You can't lose me

You can lose your faith in loving
You can lose the will to trust, you'll see
You can't lose me

You can lose control let loose your senses
Lose your strength lose your defenses
You'll see, you'll see, you'll see
You can't lose me

You can't lose me cause I'm not leaving
You can't lose me cause I won't go
I'm gonna be there like a shadow you won't ever be alone
I'll be the sun that shines above you
All around you everywhere

You can lose your way, lose your possessions
Lose your mind and lose direction
You'll see, you'll see, you'll see
You can't lose me

You can't lose me cause I won't go
